Warned by two Spanish hikers, help have been dispatched to the site by the PGHM of Pierrefitte-Nestalas (Hautes-Pyrénées), in particular with the sending of a helicopter. Unfortunately, the Samu doctor could only see the death of the victim. It is a hiker, domiciled in the town of Sabers, in the Landes. Contacted by our editorial staff at the end of the day, the mayor of Sabers confirms this tragedy, “having been informed during the morning by the gendarmerie”.
Professor at the agricultural high school
This Landais was 58 years old. “It had been installed in the town for several years,” continues the first magistrate. The 50 -year -old was a professor at the agricultural high school in Sabers. A position there he had held for several years. According to our information, it was not active in the associative fabric of the Landes municipality. According to the mayor, this man “regularly practiced hiking”. It would be quite frequently for this purpose in the Pyrenees.
“Determine the exact circumstances of death”
The hiker left alone on April 30 where he was to climb the Mount Lost, as indicated by “La Dépêche du Midi”. This Friday, May 2, he was to find friends in a shelter in Gavarnie-Gédre (Hautes-Pyrénées), after the ascent of the Marbré tower, as specified by the regional daily. “An investigation is underway to determine the exact circumstances of the death,” said the PGHM.
